Many times photography isn't about art, as you mentioned between the lines, it is delivering what the customer wants. Actually, the young lady is quite a warm person. She just has the ability to do as directed. Below is another image which I didn't post as it is non Leica. Taken with a Zeiss 75 Biotar at F4. At F4 the Biotar is almost as good as the Summilux at 1.4. With that said, the Biotar is quite a nice lens. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1672688&size=lg No solicitor, but comments always welcome.

You have made a lovely portrait for Dad. That was your assignment and it should please everyone, but you may not get some of the "arty" comments with this one ;-) She is an intense young lady from this image, its a credit to the lens that it did not melt.
